Athena Entity

‘Athena Entity’ draws inspiration from the mythologies and ideologies of ancient Greece, reimagining the powerful legacy of women as warrior, victor, crafts worker, maiden and guardian. The collection delves into the complexities of gender, moving beyond confining biases of history and celebrating women today, acknowledging the hardships that many face. At its core, this collection strives for equity and freedom from the generational ideas that have limited the true expression of female power.

Through five curated looks, ‘Athena Entity’ portrays the diverse facets of feminine strength, designed to break free from traditional notions of submission and isolation. This collection channels the bold power of the goddess Athena, melding ancient symbolism with modern, dynamic forms. Each outfit reflects a transformative evolution of power – strong, but fluid, structured yet liberating.

The juxtaposition of contrasting materials – tailored jackets with free-flowing skirts, chest armor interwoven with study chains, and fabric that flows and moves with the wearer – creates a visual narrative of both constriction and release, entanglement and empowerment. The deliberate imbalance in each look speaks to the fight against established norms, celebrating the power found in disruption.
